Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds tilapia fillets, finely diced* see Cook's Note
1 cup lime juice (about 8 large limes)
1/2 cup seeded chopped tomato
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup clam-tomato juice (recommended: Clamato), optional
1 tablespoon bottled hot sauce (recommended: Huichol), optional
1 serrano chile, optional
Grilled Tostadas, recipe follows, or 6 purchased tostadas
Mayonnaise, for spreading
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
1 lime, cut into wedges
6 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Put the tilapia in a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the fish and mix gently to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until the fish is white throughout, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the refrigerator and drain off the lime juice, gently squeezing the fish with your hands. Discard the lime juice. Add the tomato, cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the clam-tomato juice and the hot sauce and chile, if using.
  • Spread the tostadas generously with mayonnaise and top with the ceviche. Arrange the avocado slices on top of the ceviche and serve immediately with the lime wedges alongside.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  • Put the tortillas on the grill or grill pan, and let them dry out until they are crunchy. Purchased tostadas can be substituted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tilapia: For the best flavor and texture, choose fresh or frozen tilapia fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet smell.
  • Cook the tilapia properly: Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking. Bake, pan-fry, or grill the tilapia until it is cooked through but still moist.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The tostadas are a great opportunity to get creative with toppings. Try using a combination of fresh vegetables, salsa, beans, cheese, and sour cream.
  • Make it a meal: The tostadas can be served as an appetizer or a main course. If you're serving them as a main course, consider adding a side of rice or beans.

Conclusion:

Tostadas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a tostada recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tostadas a try.
